Fermion Masses and Hierarchy of Symmetry Breaking
We suggest that the breaking of a symmetry unifying the families of fermions occurs in stages. We consider the total Lagrangian to be invariant under the group SU(2) xU(1) x G, where G is a discrete group. The Higgs potential is, however, invariant under SU(2) xU(1) xE, where E 3 G. In a first stage c is broken to a subgroup H C 5, but H is not contained in G. The u and d quarks are naturally m...
متن کاملFermion mass without symmetry breaking
We examine a model of reduced staggered fermions in three dimensions interacting through an SO(4) invariant four fermion interaction. The model is similar to that considered in a recent paper by Ayyer and Chandrasekharan [1]. We present theoretical arguments and numerical evidence which support the idea that the system develops a mass gap for sufficiently strong four fermi coupling.without prod...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking, Chiral Dynamics, and Fermion Masses
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is one of the main paradig.ns of particle physics. I will briefly review 1) the general history of SSB, 2) the universal features and descriptions of gap formation and chirM dynamics in the BSC-type mechanisms in condensed matter, nuclear, and particle physics, and 3) some open problems including the mass hierarchy in the Standard Model and beyond.
متن کاملSpontaneous Family Symmetry Breaking And Fermion Mixing
We propose a theory to describe fermion mixing. The theory respects the maximal abelian family symmetries which are spontaneously broken down at a large scale. We find that quark mixing can be well described in this theory. Some concrete models are constructed. The crucial point for model building is to introduce some new particles which are SU(2) gauge singlets and carry -1/3 electric charge. ...
متن کاملElectroweak symmetry breaking and fermion masses from extra dimensions
We study higher-dimensional non-supersymmetric orbifold models where the Higgs field is identified with some internal component of a gauge field. We address two important and related issues that constitute severe obstacles towards model building within this type of constructions: the possibilities of achieving satisfactory Yukawa couplings and Higgs potentials. We consider models where matter f...
